It’s high location, open architectural design and unobstructed views capture the trade winds that transverse this part of the island.

The master bedroom encompasses the entire second floor. The master suite is beautifully furnished and features a four-poster superking-size bed and a balcony with a wonderful view of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean and glimpses of Martinique.
A covered veranda runs the entire length of the house and includes an outdoor seating area, a regulation billiard/pool table and a hammock. The extra large swimming pool features an infinity edge and is bordered by a large wooden deck equipped with wooden sun loungers. The villa is beautifully landscaped, and contains mature gardens with a wide variety of tropical trees, plants and flowers.

About the Island & Getting There
About St Lucia
The Land, The People, The Light – St Lucia’s motto couldn’t be more representative of this captivating sovereign island nation. Witness dazzling scenery, be spellbound by the fascinating locals and allow for St Lucia to brighten your day and show you a new way to life.
St Lucia gained its independence from the British Commonwealth in 1979 and after centuries of a French presence, which is most visible today in the original Capital of Soufrière, St Lucia is famous for its Pitons & landscapes and vivacious community.
St Lucia really is a hiker’s Nirvana! Where to start? That’s a tough question. However, with the likes of - The Diamond Botanical Gardens, Enbas Saut Waterfall Trail, Pigeon Island National Park, Sulphur Springs Park Scenic Drive and Tet Paul Nature Trail – it doesn’t matter! These UNESCO listed sites are a sight to behold. If you're likely to take to the water, you'll be able to admire the rich marine biodiversity just off the shore of St Lucia. Over 60% of the marine area is made up of coral reefs and these are very poular with snorkelers and scuba divers. Just make sure you put time aside to relish these privileged land & seascapes.
Start your cultural trip downtown in Castries. Here you will be provided with more than enough entertainment for an afternoon and evening. The local Market runs throughout the week and is certainly the right place to come for exotic fruits and tantalising Street Food - the Green Fig & Salt Fish is local delicacy and it's not scarce, so perhaps try a few variants on this regional intricacy and let us know which is your favourite! The vendors are incredibly animated, so expect a show to be put on if you choose to explore this part of the island and brush up on those haggling skills. La Place Carenage and Point Seraphine are very popular Malls and if you bear in mind the added incentive of these complexes being Duty-Free, you and your guests will certainly get some good deals (A taxi back to your villa after such an excursion is suggested!).
Many holiday makers are surprised to learn of St Lucia’s rich cocoa legacy. Ever since the 1700’s this island has been producing cocoa related products, that are incredibly sought after all across the world. Morne Coubaril Estate and La Dauphine Estate specialise in showcasing how plantations use to gather & manufacture the Cocoa Bean fruit and organise educational tours. After learning all about St Lucia’s former booming cocoa industry, you will probably need some therapy…how about chocolate therapy like you’ve never encountered before? Enquire at some of the islands more renowned Spas and you’ll be able to experience the benefits of a chocolate facial and massage. Remember - Chocolate isn’t a food, it’s a medicine!
We have selected some of the most exciting villas on the island, so browse through these dreamy holiday homes and have a look at our cheeky little guide to St Lucia!

Villa Kessi is absolutely stunning
When we walked through the door, after being met by the housekeeper
Keshia, we were greeted by an
amazing view out to the pool and
garden, a fabulous green oasis. A
perfect start to our stay.
-
Beautiful!
-
Will we be back...YES!
My vacation was absolutely fabulous, the photos on line of Kessi doesn’t give you the full experience. Catherine who is in charge of the house is absolutely the BEST. She made my trip for me I didn’t want to leave. Kessi is close and far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the Rodney bay area. Catherine was a gem and a pleasure to be around and her meals were delicious. The rooms are very large with very high ceilings. If you're coming from the states they didn’t have that many adapters for the plugs. But my whole experience there was amazing can’t wait to come back .

A big thumbs us from us
We stayed at Villa Kessi for a week and it was absolutely perfect. The house was exactly as it was advertised in the pictures, and came spotlessly clean. All fittings (kitchen, bathrooms etc.) worked perfectly, and the pool was amazing to wake up to each morning. Catherine (the chef & cleaner who was around whenever we needed) was very friendly and easy to get along with, and she's a great chef as well! I would have no problem going back and have already recommended the house to others.

Lovely Villa
A very clean and well presented villa. We have high standards and they were certainly met.
The house maid (Catherine) is very friendly, kind and accommodating. The are is very quiet and is on the top of one of the hills in the Cap Estate, better views than i expected to be honest, a lovely balcony to sit on for breakfast even when its pouring with rain.
Immaculate verandah, pool area and garden. I cant really give any negatives other than a few lose dogs but they never seem any problem apart from the odd bark, but you get more than than in the UK!
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
